THE PRINCIPLES OF RADHASOAMI

FAITH OR (SANT MAT) OR SURAT SHABD YOGA

 

  The principles of Sant Mat or Radhasoami Faith are basically a true methodology of realizing the Supreme Truth - God, which is present in all individuals as Soul . In order to realize God in life the force of spirit has to be awakened by adopting the prescribed teaching of the Master of the Time (Waqt Guru) . He is the only person in human form, "who", has realized the Truth - God.

  The practical aspect of awakening the Spirit within through the aid of the Master is essentially the repetition of the Holy Name of the Supreme Lord (Known as SUMIRAN) and contemplation of the Form of the Master of the Time (Known as DHYAN) and internally listening to the Holy Sound (Known as BHAJAN) which is taught during initiation by the orders of  the Master of the Time. In order that a continuity should be maintained for the redemption of the Soul, Huzur Soamiji Maharaj - the Master of the Time ordained the recruitment of His NIJ DHAR in new Form on this planet who becomes the Sant Satguru of the Time after the departure of the Master.

According to Radhasoami Faith the practice of Sumiran and Dhyan in the absence of True Master is not possible and the Supreme Master is essential. The advent of Param Guru Huzur Soamiji Maharaj on this planet has brought in a continuation of NIJDHAR in human form of the Sant Satgurus after the departure of the previous Master.

  The uniqueness of Radhasoami Faith lies in the transference of NIJ DHAR that is the Name and Sound Current to the successive Master of the Time by the previous Master before the departure. Because of this unique internal transference of the Supreme Current , the present Master is equipped with the entire Spiritual qualities and characters of His Master. He acquires the power to liberate the souls from the bondage of mind and matter in the lifetime of the true seeker.

Radhasoami Faith emphasizes that man should aim to develop his faculties of mind, body and spirit under the Guidance of the True , Perfect and Living Spiritual Master only. By following His teachings, the life is enriched and the aim of the salvation of the soul is achieved in totality in lifetime.
